Mine would be arbitrarily slowing down a character to maintain horror in a game. I get if there are reasons like age, injury, or location that could provide context, but don’t turn my legs into molasses because you need to time the jump scare just right.
“Be Good or Be Hitler” moral (in loosest meaning of the word) choice systems
Sexism.
Where half of the open world game is just driving/walking to the missions.
Like in FFXIV, even if you don’t get a drop for your class/job, you can still exchange 10 tokens from an Extreme Trial to cash in for that weapon, and 99 for the mount.
This used to not be a thing in FFXIV and I feel bad for all the players who cleared coils and would go the entire tier without their main weapon.
Bullet sponges and the associated power creep. I don’t find shooting an enemy hundreds of times to be satisfying. It’s just numbers getting bigger.
